Real Growth Metrics

About RealGrowthMetrics

RealGrowthMetrics was built for operators who are tired of growth calculators that ignore churn, pricing pressure, and reality.

Why this exists

Most growth calculators on the internet are built to make numbers look good, not to help you make decisions.

They quietly assume zero churn, infinite demand, and perfectly efficient acquisition. The charts look great - the underlying businesses usually don’t.

RealGrowthMetrics takes the opposite approach: we model what actually happens when churn, acquisition, pricing, and time collide.

If the result looks uncomfortable, that’s not a bug - that’s useful information.

Who it’s for

SaaS founders & PLG teams
Subscription business owners
Paid community operators
Investors checking models
Anyone modeling unit economics
Operators tired of fantasy spreadsheets

If you care about real numbers over pretty graphs - you’re in the right place.

What the tools actually do

Each tool is built around a small, explicit set of assumptions - no hidden magic.

  • Membership Growth Simulator: Models growth with churn and steady acquisition
  • Churn Impact Tool: Compares baseline vs improved churn on the same inputs
  • Price Change Impact: Shows how price changes affect revenue and member decay
  • CAC Payback Calculator: Estimates time to recover acquisition cost with real margins

These aren’t “forecasts.” They’re projections of your current assumptions.
If you don’t like the output - you’ve just learned something valuable.

Built by CloudScope

RealGrowthMetrics is published by CloudScope - a small software company that builds analytics and operational tools for real-world businesses.

The same people who built this also run actual subscription and membership operations, so the tools are shaped by live P&L statements, not just theory.

That bias shows up everywhere: no email gates, no “growth hacks,” no magic multipliers - just math that behaves the way your business behaves.
